dragon soaring upwards amidst scrolling clouds from cragged
rocks, the beast with a sinuous scaly body terminating in
muscular limbs and sharp claws, its horned head detailed with
long curly whiskers and an agape mouth revealing sharp fangs,
its piercing round eyes pinning on a flaming pearl on the top
right corner, all above another smaller dragon leaping from
tumultuous crashing waves, all within a frame of standard
mitre, mortise and tenon frame construction with exposed
tenons on the short sides of the frame
